The 2A championship, the Grand Red Devils pulled out a trick play looking for a win over South Summit.

Despite making a top play, Grand fell to South Summit 50-25.

Another trick play in the 5A semifinal, Jackson Frank to Jack Hollberg , who connected with Noah Benne for the double-pass. What a play by the Titans, but they come up short losing to Corner Canyon 20-15.
